Collect is very stupid... I don't know how the hell they (the jails) are allowed to make deals with companies to only allow their collect calls.. It really pisses me off. It was $2.20 a minute for me! I had my calling card memorized too.. but nOOO I couldn't use it. I swear, I really should become a lawyer because that's just unfair that a person is forced to pay $22 for a 10-minute phone call when 35 cents gets it anywhere else.
Jails are totally unfair (I'm not talking about prisons - jails) for people that get held overnight for stupid charges that are brought against them... like if your girlfriend says you hit her, you go to jail for 24 hours, or if a passenger in your car is drinking and you don't even know it, or if a cop hates you and pulls you over on bogus charges ... It's the law - even if she calls and says she's lying.
Anyway... don't ask me why I was in jail. I'll just tell you this - I had to spend 24 of the longest, worst hours of my life so the system could handle problems that they did not allow my family and I to handle - even though we all agreed to handle it.
